Winter is Coming: House Stark Quest

@Charcolt How big is Ghost at this point? Any chance Jon could ride him out of here?

Otherwise we aren't running away with that bad ankle.

An alternative is having Ghost and/or Jon do their damnedest to kill this Queen before she serves him up to the leafy little shits.

As large as he is in A Clash of Kings when Jon meets Mance Rayder. Which means he likely could be ridden albeit not for very long. It helps that Jon hasn't been eating much since leaving the Wall.

Alright.

[] Fuck this. Have Ghost come in, tear out the Queen's throat if you get the chance (either one of you), and ride out of here.


We may not get very far, but it's better than just allowing ourselves to be sacrificed to the Children.

I mean, we're probably gonna die either way, and better to go out fighting than like a bitch on an altar. And with a chance of actually escaping.
 
Shit, I forgot we're in the middle of a crowd at the moment.

Even if Ghost gets through getting out would be a lot harder.

Unless revealing himself as a warg will get them to spare him....not counting on it.



Is the 'door' in sight?

If going towards it takes us away from the crowd or at least where it's thinner Ghost and Jon might have a better chance at escape.


Or if Ghost can at least get through then perhaps he could grab the Queen by the neck without killing her. With her as hostage we might have a ticket out of here.

There must be thousands of wildlings here. Ghost would probably be driven off before he could get close.
 
Perhaps we could goad her into talking instead.

[] "I know your people value freedom, or at least say they do. You disdain 'kneelers' for being weak even though we've held against and beaten back your lot for thousands of years. You expect other people to let you live by your ways, but you don't respect the lives or ways of those South of the Wall with your raiding. Are kidnapping and rape part of your precious freedom? Based on that...I'm pretty sure I know that you're hypocrites and full of shit. Oh, and don't get me started on the cannibals you have with you. Yeah, I see those Ice River fuckers there."


Nah...Jon doesn't know enough about the Free Folk at this point to try making an argument like that.


[] "Lies. Slander. Simply not the truth. I know my letters. That's at least one thing. And one thing is definitely more than nothing. Oh, that also means I know numbers, while you apparently don't. Hm..."

Heh. Tempting...

They could simply drain Jon of all his blood if they wanted.



[] "Explain it to me, then. Why have you amassed this army?"

Gets to the point.

Wouldn't the revelation of us being a warg give them pause as well? The Free Folk always seemed to respect wargs...

Maybe if we say something to the effect of how we do know something, we know what it means to hunt with a pack, and summon Ghost, and then ask them about why they've gathered this pack?

Ghost is the only one who could lead the Watch to where Jon is if the Free Folk keep him prisoner, though. And that's shot if Ghost reveals himself.


Of course, that hinges on whether they keep Jon alive for that long.
 
Didn't Jon possess Ghost when he died in canon?

Not sure I see him getting rez'd in this timeline, but he should be able to news back.
 
I think we should just follow. The children are most probably gonna be inside some godswoods. We would have a much higher chance of slipping away once we are away from the crowd.

27. Queen Beyond the Wall
  • Threadmarks
    • "Do you believe in destiny, Jon Snow?"

    "My father did." You said nothing more, but the Queen nodded thoughtfully. "When I was a girl, a shadowcat came to my village. Right into my father's tent. That would have been the end of me. But a wolf from the woods came and drove it away. Three times it threw itself between me and danger. And when the shadowcat fled to seek easier prey, the wolf moved on."

    Seeing no point in interrupting what was surely some sort of exposition, you allowed her to continue. "The village elder called me blessed by the Old Gods. He said they were watching over me for a greater purpose. But one day the Old Gods fell silent. Some men who called themselves Greenseers went mad - they put out their eyes or hanged their entrails on the branches. Babes who dreamed of things to come dreamed no more."

    The tunnel ahead was narrowing, so thin no more than a few people could pass through at once. "Whatever plan the Old Gods had for me died that day. I was hungry and foolish, so I chased a rabbit. The snow beneath my feet gave way and I fell. I found myself here."

    "The Lands Beneath the Wall?"

    "The fall took my sight from me. I should have died, foolish girl that I was. But I lived. I learned to survive, Jon Snow. And I've taught my people the same. Winter is almost upon us. It will be the greatest winter in a thousand years. We cannot afford to break ourselves upon Bran's Wall this time."

    At long last you reached the end of the tunnel, a chamber as wide and tall as Winterfell. At the end there stood a vast gate of weirwood, with a pale, ancient face carved into it.

    "This is Gorne's Way, isn't it?"

    The far-off buzzing had returned, standing your hair on end and sending chills down your spine. "It's not the Children of the Forest you're worried about." You looked to the scars on her neck. Teeth marks. "Gendel's Children. This is where my uncle died, isn't it?"

    "Time is up, Jon Snow." The Queen drew a knife, a wicked looking piece of sharpened rust. "Your blood will awaken the gatekeeper. Your crows' vow will open the way for us."

    The deep roads were throbbing, pulsating madly like a dying man's heart. The distant rumble felt sharper. Hungrier.

    [] Open the way.
    [] Resist (Write-In).

      [X] Buy time. Get her talking.
      -[X] Say they succeed and get past the Wall, what then? Kings Beyond the Wall have gotten past the Wall before and were beaten back by the Watch and the lords of the North. But even if they somehow win this time then they'll have the wrath of the other Seven Kingdoms upon them. Sneaking past the Wall and trying to take the land that's south would only bring death for her people.
      -[x] If they want to survive, it needs to be a peaceful settlement. Suggest negotiations.
      --[x] Failing that, try to seduce her.
      ---[x] If that fails...umm...tell the longest, most groan inducing joke(s) you know. Pun-ish them severely.

      --[X] If that fails kill the bitch anyway. The Wildlings can't be allowed to invade the Seven Kingdoms. You are the shield that guards the realms of men.

    • Who knows Ygritte, maybe these cannibals prefer your blood after all - I'm told Old Gods add a wonderful pine aftertaste.

    Or we could hold her hostage and hope the Wildlings let us go. Very doubtful, but it's an option.
     
    So Jon's blood will open a way through the Wall?

    She may just want a little blood, or that's all that is necessary...

    But I wouldn't count on it.

    And anyway, I see little reason to make things easier for them when they plan on going past the wall.

    We need a decent write-in, though. We shouldn't underestimate her and Jon is injured.

    Where is Ghost right now?
